Heat Transfer of Laminar Mixed Convection of Liquid

De-Yi Shang, Dr. of Tsinghua University and former professor of Northeastern University, now resides in Canada. He is an active scientist with special contributions to convection heat and mass transfer. He developed an innovative similarity transformation of velocity fields on laminar boundary layers as a better alternative to the currently popular Falkner-Skan transformation, leading to convenience for consideration of coupled effects of variable physical properties in convection heat and mass transfer. He proposed novel models for treatment of temperature-dependent physical properties of gases and liquids and weighted concentration- and temperature-dependent physical properties of vapor-gas mixture. He contributed a series of extensive studies on convection of heat and mass transfer without and with fluid phase change with significant theoretical and practical value.  His work on convection heat and mass transfer of film condensation of vapor-gas mixtures is of international importance. He is author of three scientific Springer monographs and of many journal papers on theory and practical application of heat and mass transfer. In 1996, he was awarded scientific grants by the Norwegian Research Council as outstanding foreign scientist with proven international reputation. In 1999, as an eminent scientist, he was included in Who’s Who in the World. In 2011, his biographical sketch was included in Who’s Who in Thermal Fluids. In 2014. He was appointed a lead guest editor of the Science Publishing Group (New York, USA) responsible for Special Issues on Convection Heat and Mass Transfer.
